My Design Fundamentals
People-focused.
“People ignore design that ignores people”. Frank Chimero
Understand people’s needs, motivations, pain points and limitations. Focus on what they want and need, and the rest will come.
Simplicity, in context.
“Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Albert Einstein.
Don’t get in the way of what people need to know, understand or do. Design should be clean and simple (as it needs to be).
Accessibility as opportunity.
Accessibility is not only our responsibility but an opportunity. Approach it with positivity: access plus ability. Remove barriers and solve problems in interesting ways.
Always communicating.
Design is constantly communicating. Everything matters and has meaning: the big things, the little things, what is said and what isn’t.
Delight.
Don’t distract from purpose but always look for opportunities to delight in designing things that people love.
Work hard.
Great Design comes from patience and hard work, not luck, not a flash of genius.
